Update of bug #53459 (project octave): Status: None => Postponed Release: 4.2.2 => other Operating System: Microsoft Windows => Any _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #1: Confirmed. This is another "new" situation we hadn't seen til now. Thanks for this example. A quick look shows it is probably related to Chart sheets interfering in the sheet order. I fear this bug can take a while to be fixed; the way the OCT interface opens .xlsx files needs a thorough review, ditto writing/adding data to such files. So that's why I set status to "Postponed". A workaround is to install a Java JRE (if you haven't already had one installed), install the Apache POI stuff, add it to the javaclasspath (or use chk_spreadsheet_support.m in the io package to do that for you), and read the file with the POI interface. If you have LibreOffice or OpenOffice.org you can also use that with a Java JRE to read the data into Octave (UNO interface) Also Excel itself with the windows package works (COM interface). BTW in passing I noted another bug that I'll fix right away. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53459> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
